DecoArt, Stencils and My First DLP Page of 2015

I am happy to say that I completed a whole year of of the DLP (Documented Life Project) in 2014. I LOVED it. It brought me back to my scrapbooking days and incorporated mixed media story telling at the same time.

I am determined to keep it up this year!!! As a matter of fact I'm going to do the "new version" of DLP and keep do another version in a Moleskein to match my one from last year.

Well....now I am in LOVE even more with the new Media line of Fluid Acrylics. I can't tell you how excited I was when I played with them. They are like a fine art paint but don't leave that sticky surface on your page. Not matt, not shiny....but somewhere in between.

I think took just a few drops of the DecoArt Fluid Acrylics and a very wet brush and made a watercolor type wash over the page. It took so little paint to get a rich color.

Let's try that fluid acrylic with a stencil! I picked two of my two new stencil designs from StencilGirlDoodle It Dream Landscape and Doodle It Geometric Landscape and used a make-up sponge with the Quinacridone Violet to stencil bits and pieces of both stencils over the spread. Yes! I'll take a gallon of that color thank you!!!!!

I then added a few more colors of fluid acrylic on the page.

Let's try that Antiquing Cream! I really love how it gave an aged look to my paper and so easy to use. It even has a really great texture.

Last, but not least, I couldn't wait to play with the Liquid Glass!!!! It did not disappoint! Pictures just can't do it justice. I think it dried quicker than any other product like this that I have ever tried.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing with these products and am SO in love with the paint. I love the size of the smaller bottles too because it makes it easy to travel with which I'm going to do soon!

This turned out awesome! Love how you did your background, and you're making me fall in love with that color too! I might give teal a break now and then ;) Love your painted handwriting too (you painted the words, right?) Looks so cool.

love this! i want to try starting a DLP now after seeing this! not sure of the details, but i love my wannabe mixed media journal/sketchbook. I always get cute stickers, scrapbook paper, etc and am yet to have used most of it because i dont want to mess up and waste it! :/ guess i could use a few bravegirl lessons lol
